Cookies

Check out Morgan's pajamas:

As I was getting the girls ready for bed, we talked about what Morgan's pajamas said:

Me: "Morgan's pajamas are funny. They say 'I'll be good for a cookie (or two)'."
Lizzy: "I would be good for a cookie. For cookies make me calmer."

Patience

Me: "Lizzy, you need to settle down. I only have this much (holding my fingers about an inch apart) patience left."
Lizzy: "Well, you see me, all the way from my toes to my head? That's how much patience my have left."

Love You This Much

Lizzy: "Mom, my love you all the way to  Minnesota, then to Hawaii, then to the moon, and then to our house."
Me: "I love you more."
Lizzy: "Like you love me to South Dakota, then to Mars, then to our house?"
Me: "Yep."
Lizzy: "Well, my love you that much, plus to Minnesota and the moon."

Night and Day

Lizzy, as she tried to fall asleep last night: "Mom, when it's night time in our world, is it morning time in Chrissy's world?"
Me: "No honey, it's night time in her world too."
Lizzy: "But she lives sooooo far away!"


*Note: Chrissy lives in Alexandria, Minnesota, which is only about five hours away from us. But when you're four, anything more than 10 minutes away seems like a bazillion miles away I guess!

Happy Thanksgiving

Lizzy, as we sat down for Thanksgiving dinner: "Um, why do we have two forks?"
Jake: "One for each hand!"

Lizzy, when I told that story to someone today: "Now that is what I call a Jake-ism!"

Beautiful!

Lizzy, when she walked into the living room and noticed the Christmas tree was up and ready to be decorated:
"Wow! It is beautiful!"

Movie Time

Lexi: "Mom, Hannah just texted and asked if I wanted to go to the movie with her."
Me: "What movie?"
Lexi: "Twillight."
Lizzy: "Toilet? What kind of a movie is that?!?!?!"
